Charge Settings Defaulting to Zero. I can only charge at home

[Red Beans and Rice]

Did you buy it used? If so, the previous owner may have used Forscan on it.

nope

Looks like he's had it for almost 2 years. The advanced charging didn't become public knowledge until Jun of this year. I'm still curious how it even got updated unless there's a new APIM update floating around but no one has mentioned it.

Something isn't right, that truck should not have that screen option.

Maybe they (the service tech) updated the module to the wrong version year? I do not know if that is even possible but I do know that no one has used forscan on it. I’ve used it in the past but not on this truck and usually not before the 36k warranty is up. I will be using it ASAP though depending on my laptop situation.

I would think they just installed what was in FDRS. Based on your BC toggles not working, it sounds like there's some other configuration missing on the IPMA side or somewhere. Can check and update that once you get Forscan. What Sync version are you showing? Settings-General-About Sync. My updated 23 has Version 25094 Revision 1779

SYNC Version 25094 rev 1779

Thanks Taxman. That did not work. “charging station paused” appeared on the screen.

Send me some info via DM. I'll see if the team can fix this remotely, or via your local dealer.

Happened with me also the procharger only charged at half power. There seems to be new preference settings and limits for AC/DC that were all set to 0. Click on change preferences or set charge limit, u will be directed to a preference screen change everything to 100%

yup. Looks like you have the advanced charging. 6 is what I changed to on my 23 to enable it. Factory was 4. AFAIk, you would be the only non-25 that has managed to get that screen without forscan. Below is the snippet that @Jesse-Infotainment provided in that thread. No guarantee it'll fix the issue but you should at least be able to get back to the old charging screen. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/f150-lightning-forscan-thread-version-2.23634 You might can check there if anyone is local to you or you can just order the adapter and use the free 2 month license. Easy peasy if you have a windows machine. Amazon.com: OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter : Automotive

This worked! Thanks so much.

Good deal. Forscan saves the day again. That would've had the service dept probably even engineers dumbfounded for a while. Still curious on how yours even got updated as the dealers certainly aren't going to use Forscan. There's a new apim update out for the 24's that apparently enables the tesla super chargers in nav and the enhanced charging screen but that hasn't been reported for the 22/23s and your Sync version matches mine so don't believe it could've been updated.

Also regarding the BC toggles not working, what do you have for the below?

APIM	7D0-09-05
APIM	7D0-10-02
IPMA	706-01-01
IPMA	706-01-02
IPMA	706-02-02
IPMA	706-38-01

I don’t remember what the settings were but I had the fix bookmarked and I changed it at the same time along with some other things.

I fixed in 30 seconds what the dealership couldn’t do in 4 weeks, ha ha.

Just got my new laptop today. That is what I was waiting on.

Incredible, @Ford Motor Company y'all need a certification process for external EXPERTS to allow them to get to solving problems not being roadblocks, I fully understand cyber security concerns for licencing hackers, but knowledgeable experts need a little respect & love at this time

Shame OP had to use an unsanctioned method to resolve the issue. Scared to think how long this would've taken to get resolved or if it even would have. It would've involved Ford engineers for sure. It was just sheer dumb luck that I just so happened had done that mod myself and recognized the enhanced charging screen from the 25's. Had @Jesse-Infotainment not posted that thread, OP would still be running in circles. He's the real one they should quit cutting off at the knees. Who knows how many he's brought back to life after issues.

I wish I could get back to normal. I cant even update my own vehicles. I have an FDRS license I cant even use I paid a year ahead.

I don't know why Ford decided to go the route they did with me.. but they have blacklisted all my IPs.. Host Ids of most all my computers.. So It is what it is at this point.

I truly cant count how many situations I fixed that would have never been fixed. Pretty much why I am MIA anymore because its frustrating to not be able to pull a vin and take a look and see what is wrong. I think its an engineer butt hurt I made them look bad. I've helped engineers fix issues they reached out to me about.

I know this thread isn't about this but I do wish I could do things more like I used to but I just cant. I don't know what I can do about it. I never did anything bad with what I was doing.

The Blue Cruise roll out alone was an insane time for me. Oh well it is what it is at this point. Ford has decided to go this route and see me as an enemy rather than an ally. If I had a huge Social media presence maybe I could make some noise but I dont and the only people that get anywhere these days are those with one.

Have you tried a VPN?

A simple paid service should suffice although if needed you can fairly easily set up a private VPN to a family or friends house.
